How to Get the Address of Someone in Basic Training

Basic training is a challenging time, and mail call is something every recruit looks forward to. This is your guide for their mailing address and letter ideas.

Below is the address format for each basic training location to send your letter.

Sandboxx doesn't receive addresses for recruit's at most bases currently. Once your recruit is assigned to their battalion, company, ship, etc they will be able to share the information with you directly. If you have questions about getting your address formatted correctly, please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team.
